IMO, this is the most impactful move that the Mavs could make this offseason. I would have been on the phone to his rep within 5 minutes to see if he was interested in coaching this coming year. If so, Kidd would have been fired within the next five minutes. Coach Bud is an impactful coach who is also beloved by his players. I can hardly see why MIL got rid of him, but they did get an unexpected bump out of the playoffs. Heck, I would do it just based on the fact that Giannis loves him and will be a FA soon. I like his XO's, I like his demeanor, I like his style of play, and he is a multi-team winner with a championship on his resume. He is a WAY better coach than JKidd at WORST. He is a franchise changer for the Mavs at best, and I can't believe that they wouldn't consider it. Make that move today, and then let him give input on personnel direction to remake the roster in what he is looking to do. He might just have love for a Wood type player if he could get a C playing next to him. That guy can do a lot with a wider range of players than JKidd has shown the ability to do. I also trust him not to alienate his players, but rather get the most benefit from them. Please make this happen!!!
